From booking to check out, our stay at the Diamant was pleasant and flawless. I work for one of the world's largest airlines and free lance for a travel magazine, so it is with some perspective that I say the Diamant is a great choice if you wish to escape the more touristy lodging venues and experience the real Sydney.... more

We stayed at the Diamant for three nights, partly to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, having read glowing reviews on here. My summary would be, it's nice, but not amazing. The service is good, low key, helpful and friendly. The food in the Penny Lane's restaurant was really really good and we got our moneys worth with a B&B deal! A... more

My wife and I had moved to Sydney for a year to work and were looking for a hotel we could stay in short term until the we found a place to rent for the year. We stayed about 17 days altogether and we had nothing but good things to say about the staff, the rooms and the service! The... more

This was my third trip to Sydney and wanted to try a new hotel that wasn't in the CBD. The Diamant was a great discovery! It's located in Kings Cross and close to Potts Point which is very central. The train station is just around the corner and there is plenty of places to eat (tip: go to Potts Point... more

The Diamant is an excellent value-for-money venue for a small conference. Our conference was for 15 people over 2 days. We chose the Diamant for the following reasons: - Location (good access to city and airport) - More personal service - Fun/"something a bit different" from typical 4 to 4.5 star standard - Competitive cost. The following were outstanding during... more

Spent the first 5 nights of our Oz trip at the Diamant, & couldn't have had a better start. Booked after reading reviews, & a bit unsure re location at first, but not a problem at all. Admittedly the nearby Darlinghurst Road is a bit tacky & seedy (the "red light" area), but the area around the hotel is reinventing... more

This is a reasonably new hotel and it shows. The rooms are immaculate (although for Sydney they are a touch on the small side). The bathroom was lovely and the Kevin Smith bath products were just beautiful... As another reviewer mentioned, the hotel is located on a VERY busy city corner, and there is no where really to 'drop off'... more

It was a dark and stormy night (heard that somewhere before) when we arrived at our hotel, The Kirketon in Darlinghurst Road only to find that it was closed for renovations. Bugger! I thought, what to do? Searching through our confirmation sheet we found a telephone number and dialled with all fingers crossed. Out of the pouring rain came a... more

We were staying happily at the Diamont's litttle brother, The Altamont Hotel (a 3 minute walk away) when the Altamont's manager told us to stay at the Diamont upon our late return to Sydney because the Diamont has a 24 hour front desk while the Altamont does not. The manager booked our Diamont room for us and gave us the... more
